What causes the harmonic balancer in the car engin to go bad?
Harmonic balancers are composed of 2 elements: A mass of metal proportionate to the engine in the respect of reducing the acceleration vibration from the pistons firing, and a energy dissipating element, such as fluid, rubber or a clutch. If the mass of the balancer becomes fatigued and cracks, the energy dissipating element will be rendered useless. The fluid may leak, the rubber may become dry rotted, or the clutch may be come worn out.
